The benefits of cool air arc not uni
versally appreciated, says Dr. Oswald in
the Heraf Of Heath. A good many peo-
pie are afraid of close bedrooms, where
their systems are poisoned and their con-
stitutions gradually undermined by
breathing the bad air. And even hot, or
warm air that is pure-air in room that
has ventilation as well as heats debili-
tating where breathed all night.
The evidence that pulmonary com
plants are inevitably and exclusively
caused by foul indoor air, and cured by
pure, especially by cold pure, outdoor
air. can grow convincing TO degree al
most affective TO a philanthropist, who
must often feel like a traveller seeing his
companions cropping in the gloom of &
subterranean labyrinth and refusing TO
follow the clew that has lei him back to
sunshine OF the upper world. The rene
dial influence of fresh air is so much in
creased by a low temperature that
s'colds' are. in fact, far more durable in
midwinter than in midsummer. l was

contagion of a 'catarrh factory as q
friend OF mine calls the unventilated
school-rooms aad meeting houses of our
country towns. In warm weather ! avoid
such mantraps as would the pit of gas
well, but in winter risk their infection
in the assurance that its influence can be
counteTacted by an extra dose of ice air.

Cold is an antisoptic and a powerful
digestive stimulant, and | here record
the prediction that the hospitals of the
future will be ice-houses. Dyspepsia,
catarrh and fevers of all kinds can be
frozen out of the system-not by letting
the patient shiver in snow-b bank, bnt
by giving him an exta allowance of warm
bedclothing, with the additional luxury
of breathing ice-eold air, which, under
such circumstances, becomes preferable

on the streets of the little town Of
Malone, y. Y, there is occasionally
seen an old and feeble man, with
sunken, though still brilliant, eyes that
glance around in a FESTIVE and fright
ened way, which tolls the experienced
observer that the old man, who IS no
less 4 parsonage than ex-Vice Presi-
dent William A. Wheeler, is con-
fined opium eater, now but a short
>estance from the grave Mr.. Wheeler
is one of the only two surviving ex-
Vice Presidents, ex-senator Hannibal
Hamlin, of Maine, being the other.
Hamlin was elected to Office when Lin
coin was given the Presidency in 1850,
and is now seventy-two years of age.
He, however, is hale and hearty old
man, with brain as active as his body.
He will never wear an overcoat when
in Washington, and in the coolest
weather can be seen trotting around
the streets at lively pace, while the
color of an eighteen-yearold boy is in
his face. Mr.. Wheeler is ten years
younger than Mr. Hamlin. but his ter
rible appearance makes him appear at
least that much older, and the
gigantic intellect that shone success
sively in the Legislature, in Con-
gress, and in the chair of the
presiding officer of the Senate, has
dwindled away, leaving its owner
a fretful, childish old man. In
In 1915 Mr.. Wheeler was nominated
Vice President, and was seated the fol-
lowing year. Then it was that Mr..
Wheeler's awful habit began to have its
effect. For years he had used the drug
in moderation, and it had nerved him
to some of the most brilliant political
achievements on record; but its con-
tinued use was beginning TO tell on
him, and by the time his term Of Office
expired Mr.. Wheeler was q broken
down old man, no longer able to stand
the long drives. and scarcely strong
enough to drag his tottering limbs
along the streets of his native city,
where his old associates were Mortified
to see the change IN the once bright
face. The secret could not long be
hidden, though it is suppressed as much
as possible by the villagers. Mr..
Wheeler's decline has been so
steady and his disappearance from pub
lie life so complete that it was gener-
ally supposed that he was dead, and
several newspapers in referring to the
Arthur obsequies mentioned him in the
list of deceased Vice Presidents. His
retirement is partially due to his phys
zeal weakness, and partially to his
family and his physician, DIR. Gray,
who watches by the patient night and
day, accompanying him in his walks
and sleeping by his side, in order to
deacon the pain which racks the poor
sufferers frame and drives away sleep
with visions too terrible to describe.

THE HOWE pOCTOR.
incoming HeaIth in the winter.

The most essential point for those who
are enfeebled by age or i'll health, says a
communication in the New York OJser-
Ger, is 10 keep warm by wearing warm
but rot too heavy clothing, and taking
the outdoor air as often as the weather
and circumstances will admit. Before
dressing in the morning and while pre-
pairing for the night, use n brush
vigorously, it is agreeable and comfort
able. promotes circulation and induces
sleep. Light warm bedding is prefera-
bic TO too warm an atmosphere for sleep
ing apartments. They who have never
tried It would be pleased and surprised
by the comfortable and agreeable
warmth of mere unbleached cotton
sheets, they are a treasure. Another
very simple but efficient article Is
waim stone, piece of marble, about an
inch in thickness and about five OF six
inches square. Laid on the range it
will be heated through in less than five
minutes; wrap it in paper 1T is better
than cloth. Laid in the bed a short
time before retiring it removes the chill
and makes the bed comfortable. The
marble can be used on a footstool, any
where, in any room, if needed for the
feet. 1t is far more convenient than o
rubber bag of hot water.

Plate glass is only made in the very
largest factories. The plate glass works
at Rayenhcad, England, are in build
ing 33gxi5j feet: the melting furnace is
placed in the center of the building, with
openings on two parallel sides for work
ing purposes, while along two sides of
! the building are arranged the annealing
I ovens, which are often made very large
to receive the immense plates that are
made The materia' of which the best
plate glass is made are pure silica or
quartz sand, pure carbonate of soda,
slaked lime, and plate glass cul-
let. that is, bits of broken plate
glass These materials, in proper
proportions, are put in the melting pot.
where they are allowed to remain from
ten TO sixteen hours, or even longer, I'M
I'll the whole has become fused and the
soda IS thoroughly volatilized. Toward
the last the temperature is allowed TO
fall, and the glass then acquires the Wis
cidity suitable for casting. In some fac
tories it is then transferred to another
vessel, where it is allowed to stand at
the same high temperature for some time
before casting. but in many establish
meuts it is poured directly from the melt
ing-pot upon the casting-tablc. This table
consists Of a massive slab, usually OF cast
iron, supported by frame. and generally
placed at the mouth of the annealing
oven. On each side OF the table arc ribs
or bars of metal, which keep the glass
within proper limits, and by their height
determine the thickness of the plate. A
COPPER or bronze cylinder about foot
in diameter, lies across the table upon
the side bars. The table is heated by
having hot Goals placed upon it, and is
then carefully cleaned The pots of
melted glass arc then lifted from the fur
mace, skinned with a large copper
knife, conveyed on whecl-racks to the
table, and being swung up by means of
crane, a=e emptied thereon. The
cylinder now rolled across the Wis
cid mass spreads the glass out in
a sheet Of uniform breadth and
thickness. While the plate is still red
hot its end is turned up like fange,
and with a rake it is thrust into the an
healing oven, which is heated to dull
red heat. Other plates are now immedi-
ately cast upon the hot table, until the
annealipg oven is filed, when il is closed
and slowly cooled for five days. Taken
from the oven, the plates are ground
smooth with sand and water, and after
ward with emery paper. They arc then
polished with powder OF rcd oxide Of
iron, under considerable pressure. This
work Of grinding and polishing is done
by machinery, by means of which most
brilliant surface is readily secured. In

The most dangerous whirlpool on
the New England coast is that near
Deer Island Point, opposite PASSPORT,
in Pas amaquoddy Bay At times,
when the tide backs up against strong
wind, great roaring is heard; the
whirlpool, fully an acre in extent,
swells up to the height of twenty feet,
like a great hill of yeast; then, falling
back, foims a deep, black, internal
looking bowl. The fishermen in the
neighborhood shun the whirlpool as
